Trivia
The APC's are made by Tatra in The Czech Republic. Tatra uses a unique center still frame with the springs running across the body of the vehicle, rather than front to rear. You can clearly see the unusual result of that suspension at the 25 minute mark when the APC stops.

Goofs
When the general briefs Mark Clyne at the beginning at the film, he mentions that insurgents are in the north near the border with Russia. Moldova has no borders with Russia, it borders Ukraine in the north.

Quotes
Clyne: I think you're reaching.
Fran Madison: Our business requires us to make suppositions.
Clyne: My business requires us to prove them. Your technician's job is to find glitches, so, he sees glitches. Your job is to find the enemy, so, you see the enemy. Locals believe in spirits, so they see spirits. Everyone is biased in one way or another. So, my answer to you right now is that we lack data to support any theory.

Rock solid; Enjoyable.

Loved the performances from the soldiers, their voices were extremely believable; they spoke with clear intent and purpose throughout.

The action was well choreographed. I found the sound design to be well done and matched the FX (visual) and corroborated the story being told.

The dialog made good sense, and there was an excellent focus on information being conveyed back and forth throughout the characters' interplay, and for the story itself.

I found the revelations and discoveries to be quite interesting, feasible, believable, and relatively congruent with science to be satisfying.

The first film (for this individual) which relied heavily on "on- the-ground" military action that I felt was non-offensive, nor hyper-stylized...

I applaud the film-makers here! Rock solid; Enjoyable.
